CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORDS – Amends existing law to revise a provision regarding records shielded from disclosure and to provide for the collection of fees, fines, and restitution owed to the court.

Idaho's H 126 amends criminal history record laws to expand eligibility for shielding records from public disclosure. It allows people convicted of certain non-violent misdemeanors (excluding assaultive offenses) or specific drug possession felonies to petition courts after completing their sentences, including probation, fines, and restitution, provided they have no recent convictions or pending cases. If approved, courts order records shielded from public view and notify law enforcement to make fingerprint records unavailable. The bill also adds language for courts to collect fees, fines, and restitution owed to the court. This affects individuals seeking to limit public access to their criminal history for qualifying offenses.
